    CrossFit Downtown Atlanta is a fantastic CrossFit gym. I have belonged to 5 CrossFit gyms during my 9 years of CrossFit. This gym has the best equipment inventory of all the gyms and keeps it organized and clean. Coaching staff is focussed on form which is a must. Definitely a gym for all ages and types not a gym just for elite athletes although anyone who does CrossFit should be considered an elite athlete. You can book your classes a week out and some are harder to get into.

    I’ve dropped in at CrossFit Downtown Atlanta a couple times and it is where I took my L1. Each time I’m here, I’m so impressed with the coaching staff. They are knowledgeable and friendly, watching everyone for form correction and happy to talk about the WOD and stimulus. It’s a great set up, I’d drop in here anytime and if I lived in Atlanta I’d definitely be a member!

    Dropped in while in town for a conference. Great atmosphere - Michael, the owner, and Helen, the coach for class, were super welcoming. Will definitely be back again next time I’m in town!

    I have been in many boxes around the world, and I have to say I am extremely impressed of how professional the coaches are in this place, focusing so much on right technique and proper movement execution. If you go to ATLANTA, that is your place to go!

    I can't think of anything I'd want in a gym, that this place doesn't offer! CrossFit Downtown ATL has ample racks, plates, and barbells for pumping some sick iron. Foam rollers, resistance bands, the works. Even the nicest Assault Bike I've ever put my bum on. The staff is really kind and supportive, wherever you are in your fitness journey. I should note, my main context for this gym is that they have hosted the USA's only Trans And Nonbinary Powerlifting Meet for 2 years running. I really appreciate having such a supportive space to practice my sport!

    Had the opportunity to drop-in on Thanksgiving day for a WOD with Coach Marcus and let me say, the environment was encouraging. Had the privilege to meet the owner Michael and his wife, they were super sweet and inviting. If we return to the area, we will be sure to drop in again! Thank you 😊

    I've been going here about a year now and honestly the best experience at a cross fit gym I've ever had since leaving California. Recently enrolled my son for the Foundations course. Marques and Michael are a legit godsend. My kid went from being shy and timid to realizing he can do something he only sees his big cousins do. I will be staying here as long as we are in Atlanta.

    The best place to stop at if you’re in ATL. Michael went above and beyond for me to be able to do my quarterfinals while I was in town. Also had so much support and hospitality from other members. Felt just like I was home. So happy I went there. Thanks again!

    Dropped in for a class and they couldn't have been more inviting. The owner Michael, the coaches, and the community were incredibly welcoming. If you live in the Atlanta area or just visiting, this is the CrossFit to go to.

    Great programming and welcoming environment, highly recommend for those who are dropping in or wanting to start CrossFit.

    Dropped in while on vacation. Very friendly coaches and members. The facility is really well equipped. I plan on coming back when in Atlanta again

    Great place. Great people. Was in Atlanta just for a summer and they treated me like a regular. Learned a lot and got in better shape.

    Fantastic gym! The workouts were awesome, the coaches and staff we super supportive and helpful, and the members were very kind. 10/10 would recommend for dropping in!

    Love this place. My wife and I joined about 15 months ago and it has become the core foundation to our health and wellness (the couple's discount is a nice perk!). We were a bit intimidated at first since neither of us had a CF background but were instantly relieved from the intimate coaching experience you receive here. The community of people is very welcoming and encouraging and they slowly become your new family over time. There are folks with various fitness goals and backgrounds which makes it even more welcoming for those of us who are past our competitive prime and are simply looking to be healthy and fit. I have several friends and family members who are members at other boxes who constantly envy and compare their boxes to the Downtown Atlanta location. The community engagement, the programming, and the coaching really sets this box apart from what I have gathered. This is the only box I've been a member at but I never want to leave! Additionally, it is worth mentioning that I have never felt so valued at a gym as I have here. The owner, Michael, values each member like they're a part of his family. He has also transformed the gym to accommodate the "new normal" of COVID-19. I am actually pleasantly surprised about how safe and comfortable I feel attending class. Even during the quarantine, Michael loaned out equipment at no extra cost for members to take home so we could continue virtual classes at our homes. And he still continues those virtual classes for members who may not feel comfortable coming back quite yet. If you are unsure and new to CF like I was, I promise that you won't be disappointed at this location. I've done everything from organized sports, to $30 gym members, to more expensive Orange Theory to try to find the motivation I need to stay healthy and fit. True, CF is not cheap, but for the first time in my life, I have not once questioned the amount I pay. There is a cost for coaching and programming sure, but the community and sense of value as a paying member is priceless and if that's what you're looking for, then CFDTA is the place for you!

    Best crossfit gym! I have recently moved away from Atlanta to California and am still struggling to find a box that matches CFDTA's high operation standard. The coaches are very knowledgeable, and they are constantly learning new coaching skills and crossfit techniques to help us get better form. They really want you to push hard and make progress! I started crossfit at this gym and was so glad to have been surrounded by the great community throughout. CFDTA takes covid precautions very seriously. The owner, Michael, set up individual stations with all the pieces of equipment you need, such as squat racks, dumbbells, and kettlebells of different weights, rings, pull up bars, so we don't have to share equipment with anyone else during the workout and also minimizes gym members from getting in close contact. Each station is 6 feet apart (or even a bit more). Michael really goes above and beyond to make us feel safe working out at his gym! Go to CFDTA! You won't regret it!

    I had a great time. The coaches and the community were very welcoming. I'm definitely coming back when I'm in town again.

  • 5/5 Kevin D. L. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been a member of several CrossFit gyms and Michael and his staff at CrossFit Downtown have created the best experience I’ve seen anywhere. Michael truly cares about the members and goes out of his way to make sure people are happy and that the gym is in great shape. For example, when the pandemic hit (once the gym opened back up) he created personal workout stations for everyone and capped class size for safety. Each station had its own dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, box, pull-up rig …. Everything you would need for just about any wod. It’s that level of service and attention to detail that sets CFDA apart. The last thing I’ll say is that the community there is amazing. It didn’t have any of the “bro” type vibes or “cliques” that I’ve seen at other gyms. It felt like family there. Would rate 10/10. Highly recommend.

    I love this gym! I went to CFDA for a while in 2018 and came back once I was permanently in Atlanta. The coaching staff and owner are amazing. I've never worked out in such an open and accepting gym. You feel welcome from the moment you step in.

  • 5/5 Jenkins A. 3 years ago on Google
    Been here since it opened. Me and my sister love training here. If you want to train hard. This is it!!!

    Love this studio. Beautiful space, friendly staff, flexible with cancellations and amazing teachers. Highly recommend classes. Just might change your life!

  • 5/5 Marie 2 years ago on Google
    This place is not only the best CrossFit gym around, it is probably the safest place in Atlanta at this time. The way they have it organized and set up for maximum efficiency AND safety is something you have to see to believe!

  • 5/5 becky h. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here for a training. Super friendly staff, great facility and space. Lots of stuff nearby to walk to. Tons of parking. Could not have been happier with my experience. The owner Michael was awesome!
